Breaking up with CenturyLink

We've had Qwest/CenturyLink for a couple of years now, since we got married in 2010, but we've decided to go with Comcast for the faster speeds and TV channels. So I had to cancel our CenturyLink service today, which I hated doing, because it felt like I was breaking up with them:

C= CenturyLink
F= Faith/me

C- Hi Faith, how's it going? What can I do for you?
F- Well, I'm calling because I wanted to break up with you.
C- Oh. Okay... Can I ask why?
F- Well, I've been unhappy with my relationship with you.  I haven't been getting the time and attention that you promised me, so I want to break up.
C- Okay. Alright then... Can I ask if you're going to start seeing someone else?
F- Actually, I've already started seeing Comcast. I would have broken up with you first, but he wanted to come over on a Sunday and I didn't want to call you until Monday.  It was kind of messy, and we're still getting settled with one another, but it happened, and I'm sticking with him.
C- You know he's going to be a jerk to you in 6 months, right? What if I can promise to be good to you for 12 months?
F- Look, I've already started dating him, and I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
C- Alright. Okay, well... thanks for calling. Have a nice day.

And now I feel all guilty. Though I wasn't happy with him, maybe I should have given him another chance?  Maybe he'll be the one that got away.

No. Probably not.

Helping Hand

If I had a 3rd hand or a prehensile tail, would I stop using my mouth to hold the odd object?
